Gasum looks beyond biomethane

Mikko Syrjänen, director of business development at Gasum Oy, tells Bioenergy Insight about the company’s collaboration with Nordic Ren-Gas
In January, Gasum and Nordic Ren-Gas announced they had signed an e-methane offtake agreement. Nordic Ren-Gas’s Power-to-Gas plant in Tampere, Finland will produce 160 GWh of renewable e-methane annually, which Gasum will procure and distribute it to its customers.
The long-term sales agreement means Gasum will purchase all e-methane produced at the Tampere plant from 2026 onwards.
“We are extremely happy about this offtake agreement and partnership with Gasum, which enables the introduction of e-methane to the market very efficiently," said Saara Kujala, CEO of Nordic Ren-Gas.
"Ren-Gas has been actively building a value chain for e-methane in Finland, for which this agreement is a concrete milestone. Ren-Gas has a development portfolio of several e-methane production projects, and this partnership enables us to accelerate the development of these important green transition projects.”
